Seen a few people on here have upgraded to LED sidelights, but I've not yet seen a MK3 with them. Until now... bought a set on eBay and fitted them this evening.

Before, horrible yellowness:

Now, nice crisp white lights:

The photos don't really do them justice to be honest, they do look really smart Didn't even have to remove the headlights (but I now have very grazed knuckles and fingers!). Now I just need whiter headlights to match!

I also bought LED rear lights but unfortunately they are too big for the holes in the back of the light units so they've got to go back

Hello mate, a few of us have put the LEDs on the mk3 me being one, you might have to go back a few months of topics to find it but anyway, we found that the LEDs (had 5 LEDs pointing in different directions) within an few weeks/ a month say 4 would have gone out and the rest would flash leaving you looking like a police car (theres an up side haha) somebody said it was to do with the heat from the main bulbs. But keep me updated as they do look the bees knees when they first went in.

they look like this mate, cant give you the exact link as my friend gave me them, but ive had them in around 3 months, but one or 2 of the LEDs have now stopped working or sometimes flash, but for the price and and how long they last cant really moan.

Ive ordered some more to should be coming any time this week. will post pictures once ive fitted them

I spoke a bit soon... they're already playing up! Both light up when I unlock the car, and both work when I turn the sidelights on with and without just the ignition. When I then start the engine though, after about 5 seconds the driver's side one goes out and doesn't come back on, but the passenger side one stays lit as it should. God knows!
